ministerial round table under the Kyoto Protocol

for the second commitment period and identify how the commitments can be increased.

H.E. Mr. Marcin Korolec emphasized that the lessons learned from reducing emissions under the
Protocol can also serve to inform the process under the Durban Platform as Parties devise a
